Ken,

In fact, it seems that Peng feels the same, and is holding my nose to
the grindstone on my long ago promise to supporting reading and writing
Imagine/ArcGIS compatible .aux/.rrd files.  I will now return to my work
on gdaldefaultoverview.cpp to try and handle the 
.ovr / .rrd dicotomy gracefully.   This capability *will* be in the
GDAL/OGR 1.3.1 release. 

Best regards,
